"We're working on flexibility, mobility and strengthening," Hurdle said. "That's not to say that can't change in another 24 hours with A.J. He's really tried to not do some things at all and do a lot of things. As far as his rehab goes, he didn't want to do anything as far as moving around other than strengthening, loosening and working on the flexion part of it."
Burnett is still not scheduled to begin throwing, which means he has no current timetable for his possible return.

Arroyo allowed just one unearned run in seven innings of work, but that was nearly enough to earn him a loss. He left the game down 1-0, and it took a ninth-inning home run by Jay Bruce to get Arroyo off the hook for the loss.
Arroyo gave up six hits and three walks in the outing, while striking out three batters. The run came around to score on an error by Arroyo in the third inning, as he could not handle a bated ball from Russell Martin.
Arroyo has lowered his ERA to 3.04, but has just one win over his last four outings, despite all of them being quality starts. He is 6-5 on the season heading into his next start, scheduled for Tuesday in Oakland.

Hughes was blasted by the Dodgers offense as he allowed five earned runs on 10 hits scattered over six innings. He threw 96 pitches and was lucky to get as deep as he did into the game. Hughes did not walk a batter and had three strikeouts as he took the loss to fall to 3-6 on the year with a 5.09 ERA.
The 26-year-old enigma has dropped back-to-back outings with eight runs allowed on 14 hits over just 10 1/3 innings. He walked five his last time out, but at least righted that ship Wednesday. Hughes has been right around that 5.00 ERA plateau for a while now and can't seem to get on track.
Hughes doesn't currently have another scheduled start, though he's likely to make his next outing Tuesday against Texas.

Mendoza surrendered a solo homer to Michael Brantley in the fifth inning and went on to give up three more runs in the sixth before leaving without recording an out in the frame. He gave up four earned runs on four hits and three walks over five innings and took the loss to fall to 2-4 on the year.
The starter, who struck out three Wednesday, has an ERA of 4.30 on the year. He won his last time out and had given up just two runs over 13 innings in his previous two outings before the Indians beat him.
Mendoza doesn't yet have his next scheduled start set in stone, though it appears likely to come Wednesday against Atlanta as the Royals have a few off days in between.
